Title: FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge
Post by: Fizzy Pies on 01 January 2013, 12:02:52 pm
I have seen and played this game on other forums for a while now and think its a great excuse to go out for a ride.
 
 Here's the Rules:
 
 
1 -  All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to or find in their area.

2 - Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.

 
3 - Challenge is good for a week, if it is not met, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.
 
4 - Nothing illegal to be challenged.
 
5 - Keep comments to a minimum, if you comment, post the current challenge after your comment.
 
6 - No repeat challenges.
 
7 - No other bikes can be used in a challenge, ie. your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions allowed, ie. your bike next to a bike cop.
 
8 - Only 1 person can win each challenge, any other entrants will not be counted due to throwing the whole game off track and adding challenges that don't stand.
 

 Examples - "Your motorcycle next to fork lift truck", "Your motorcycle on a football pitch", "Your motorcycle next to a lighthouse", "Your motorcycle next to a firetruck" etc. Doesn't need to be a fancy picture, cell phones, whatever works.
 

 Thanks guys. Remember, this thread is supposed to get guys to WANT to go ride right away and beat his friend to the picture challenge, be creative, but have limits. Thanks and let me know what you think!
 

 PS people who complete a challenge will get a point, points and scores will be tallied up after a week on as close to depending on how many challenges are completed.

 
In case you don't get it, have a look here at the challenges some were given. http://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=335677&highlight=Motorcycle+Picture+Game (http://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=335677&highlight=Motorcycle+Picture+Game)
 
 
 First challenge: Your bike next to a National Speed Limit sign (/).

I'm sure we can we adapt the rules so you can use a photo of your bike in the challenges instead of the actual machine if you want to play.

Can we make an exception fizzy pies? :)

never mind breaking the law (classic tune that!) thats as close to the beach I would go without getting stuck in the sand!!!

pity a) my bikes off the road till march/april,,, I know I'm fair weather biker,,,
b) I'm stuck in work all week anyway
c) dont have a digital camera at the moment as mine has disappeared!!
 
but enjoying this thread, hope it will continue into nice weather and also will be slow enought for me to go out for a ride , take a picture, get back upload picture before the challange has moved on to many times.
hmm may have to succumb to one of those smart phone thingys rather than my Nokia brick.

Sorry Steve, I 've got to dispute this one. All the challenges I have set are things that I could do myself. This is clearly NOT on the beach. So, as much as I hate to quote the rule book to anyone. You either need 3 votes or if no one else can do it in three days....I'll show you how it's done :b With out breaking the law. ;)

In the same respect that some people don't live near windmills, national speed limit signs or red phone boxes...

You should have stood your bike on some beech planks or a  female mexican dog and might have got points for being a smart arse.

I wanna challenge the challenge....... The challenge was `on a beach` and has been refused as its not actually ON the beach. I think it only fair that it is accepted, as the challenge `on a dry road` was accepted when quite clearly the bike was parked on the pavement NEXT to the dry road!!   :b

Point being, you have already broken the rules and let it go once. On a dry road was allowed when it was next to a dry road, on a beach was disallowed when it was next to a beach!!!!!     And it was a tongue in cheek comment Dazza, calm down , it is only a game!!!!
Title: Re: FOC Bike Picture Challenge
Post by: stevierst on 10 January 2013, 07:52:54 pm
I'm not bothered if its accepted or not, were losing valuable riding time here!!! I could be getting more dodgy challenges, or not in some cases. :lol

Next challenge... Your bike on a beach, not next to, above, below it, or even two of them or the wrong colour. A beach!  :z

Totaly agree with you, I just cant work out why `a pic of your bike on a dry road` is allowed to have a pic of a bike NEXT to a dry road, but `a pic of your bike on a beach`isnt allowed a pic of a bike NEXT to a beach??? Either Steve gets both pics allowed or both pics banned surely?lol, Sorry Steve!!  :lol

Got to be honest, I was concentrating so hard on the damp patches on the road I didn't even realise he was on the pavement until you mentioned it :lol  + ONE for both banned :lol  I agree, from now on for the sake of fairness, let's keep to the wording......Like everyone else is doing :D

Title: Re: FOC Bike Picture Challenge
Post by: Motorbreath on 24 January 2013, 03:57:01 pm
I think we should stick to the real things. I was about to go to take a picture of a real medieval castle. I did not like the "palm tree", the "zoo", the invisible river and the "dry" road.

I want to see impressive pictures like the submarine one for example.

But it is just my opinion.
Title: Re: FOC Bike Picture Challenge
Post by: dazza on 24 January 2013, 04:37:06 pm
Think we should put this one to a vote. I wont decide as it may appear  biased and to give others a chance I will forfeit the next 5 challenges. ;)  But you've got to admit. it is another dodgy picture :(
Title: Re: FOC Bike Picture Challenge
Post by: DryRob on 24 January 2013, 06:02:25 pm
I admit a few of mine were iffy but we run the risk of this becoming a propper photo comp rather than an excuse to ride our bikes if we start a judging format and we already have a monthly comp.

How about if you win you can't enter the next x amount of challenges?
Title: Re: FOC Bike Picture Challenge

Guys lets not get too serious about this, its just a game. I'm only getting the photos because I'm out on the bike every day and just using my imagination. I even left this one 24 hours to give others a chance. I could get them as soon as they come out but I don't.

Title: Re: FOC Bike Picture Challenge
Post by: Motorbreath on 24 January 2013, 11:10:15 pm
Well if most of people is ok then I accept it.

But I still think it would be better to take proper pictures. If people who can ride the whole day take pictures like those and they are accepted they take the chances to people who want to ride the bike just to do it as soon as they can.

For example: there is an ancient castellated wall with a tower just in front of me. I could take the picture even without starting the engine. Nobody could have known it wasn't a real castle but I wanted it to be real so I waited until I had time to take the bike to a nearby town or somebody else could take a picture of another one.

   So you keep telling us.. However, games generally have rules and everytime you post a questionable photo it throws the game off track. I thought we had agreed to stick to the wording or the actual challenge. You can still use your vivid imagination by sticking to the wording.  This is how I see it Steve, you are on your bike every day, therefore stand more chance of getting the challenges without any controversy. So time to practice what you preach and remember...IT'S JUST A GAME TO BE ENJOYED BY ALL AND NOT JUST ONE FOCCER WHO'S IMAGINATION SEEMS TO HAVE GOT THE BETTER OF HIM :lol No offence ;) NEXT CHALLENGE....YOUR BIKE DRESSED IN DRAG.

Here we go dodgiest pictures yet  :\ , went home in the cage, thought I can do this one ! Jumped on bike, rode down other end of the island, thought I would be able to get the sweeping beam of the Hanois lighthouse, but not enough moisture in the air or whatever, 33 pictures later, one flat set of batteries and some very cold hands all I got was a load of blanks, no beam.  :'(
Loads of determination got a couple of flashes (circled). Another picture, one of the blanks, and a picture stolen from the net showing a day light image of the lighthouse from the seaward side & roughly where I was in a car park.
See what the verdict is on my attempt, if accepted - next challenge Your bike by a power station.
If not I will have to try harder

One soggy fazer parked next to an apparently endangered species. Was looking for one of these around town the last few days with no joy, eventually gave up and rode 2 miles to the nearby services as a "detour" on my short commute home. Couldn't decide what was worse, parking in the disabled bay to take the pic, or going in the "coaches only" area...

Fizzy, you need to add at least one fill-up to get the stats to put in your sig.

Once you've done that, log in to fuelly and select your bike. Down on the bottom row click on (http://badges.fuelly.com/images/icons/shield.png). Then copy the BBC code and copy it to your foc-u profile under 'Forum Profile'. Remember to click save!

All the pictures seem to have blurred, but oh well!
I pulled on to the pavement after the crossing and got off to wait for the train.  When I was done, I went to get on the bike, and realised there was a police car about 3 cars back in the queue for the crossing, giving me some very odd looks!
Got on and rode away swiftly  8)

Yes, a propeller  powered  RC glider, bought many years ago from a flea market. Would love to say I fly it all the time but if I'm honest I only attempted to fly it once where I failed miserably and crashed it.

OK then, here it is.  Although strictly speaking it's not vintage as vintage must be a car built between 1919 and 1930 and it's a 1971, it's still on Californian plates as it was only imported a few weeks ago and it's got a flat tyre.  Oh, and in my rush to get the bike out of the shed, take the pic and put it away again before the rain starts, I've just clouted my right hand mirror and broke it off at the base.  So I hope the effort is appreciated!  Anyone know the best place to get a new mirror from?  It won't be right without being able to have a clear view of my elbow while riding.

It isn't, it's a pile of crap.  It was bought by a mate in France and the plan was that it was shipped to me (cheaper to ship to the UK), I do just enough to it to get an MoT so it can be registered in the UK and then it goes to France to be completely restored and transferred to French registration (as it is fairly easy to transfer registration on something from another EU country but virtually impossible to register something from outside the EU).  Despite that fact that the ad by the dealer in the US described it as mechanically sound, their definition would seem to differ from ours.  By mechanically sound you expect the engine to run and it to be driveable at least, not to have no brake hoses or fuel lines, carbs that have been full of water for so long they are seized solid and a starter motor that is permanently engaged so you can't even turn the engine over!  We haven't decided what we are going to do with it yet so it is sitting on my driveway until we do......

It isn't, it's a pile of crap.  It was bought by a mate in France and the plan was that it was shipped to me (cheaper to ship to the UK), I do just enough to it to get an MoT so it can be registered in the UK and then it goes to France to be completely restored and transferred to French registration (as it is fairly easy to transfer registration on something from another EU country but virtually impossible to register something from outside the EU).  Despite that fact that the ad by the dealer in the US described it as mechanically sound, their definition would seem to differ from ours.  By mechanically sound you expect the engine to run and it to be driveable at least, not to have no brake hoses or fuel lines, carbs that have been full of water for so long they are seized solid and a starter motor that is permanently engaged so you can't even turn the engine over!  We haven't decided what we are going to do with it yet so it is sitting on my driveway until we do......

They look fantastic stationary though so every cloud, how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

To buy it, ship it and pay the duty, it came out at just under £14k.  Which wouldn't be a bad price if it had been as expected.  It needs stripping and putting back together and the interior replacing, the good thing is it is rust free.

Anyway, c'mon you lazy foccers, you've had 2 weekends to find a live sporting event and nobody's posted anything.  I didn't think it would be that difficult.  Or should someone pick a different challenge?

Had a run out to sunny Hunny yesterday and hoped to find a tractor but failed dismally.  Parked in amongst the other bikes by the pier and hoped someone would park a Harley next to mine but they didn't.  That would have counted as a tractor wouldn't it?

Title: Re: FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge
Post by: Dead Eye on 09 October 2013, 10:39:40 am
This is a county border between Bristol County and South Gloucestershire County - they are two distinct counties but the border is within the confines of Bristol CITY

Pretty sure its valid... but looks like its to be put to a vote...

Also, literally about 200 yards up the road is the matching South Gloucestershire County signpost but Google for some reason has gotten that close... http://goo.gl/maps/6RW6P (http://goo.gl/maps/6RW6P)

The Council deliberately put of them up in 1974 when Bristol's Charter (defining it as a County) was withdrawn, one year after we'd celebrated 600 years of being a City and a County :(

Sorry it’s not blue, and it’s not brilliant quality, but hopefully it’s acceptable.
If so next challenge, should be an easy one  :   Your bike outside a Chinese restaurant

Victor Hugo is one of the best known French poets & writers
He was forced into exile due to his political stances, and spent most of that time in this house in Guernsey from 1855 to 1870.  Hauteville House is now maintained as a museum.
Amongst his writings were, ‘Notre-Dame de Paris’   otherwise known in English as ‘The hunchback of Notre-Dame’ and Les Miserables
Here is a link to the museum’s site      http://www.victorhugo.gg/hauteville-house/ (http://www.victorhugo.gg/hauteville-house/)
And there is a whole load on him on wiki aswell

Maybe we should go back to rule 1
 
1 -  All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to or find in their area.

And ask Dazza for a new challenge, anyone want to second that to get the ball rolling again ?

It does say obscure though and it wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy, just another look at my Fazer thread.

Can this get done so we can move on, and maybe not quite so obscure for the winter months when there is not so much riding weather to be had.

Poor do chaps!


I could have got this one myself easilly today!  When I say easilly I mean simply mounting a pavement.  By mounting a pavement I mean crossing some easy access private land.  By easy access I mean barging through some temporary barriers at the risk of offending some people.  By some people I mean a bunch of coppers.  By bunch of coppers I mean...

A fresh steam key for a PC game I (briefly) worked on.  If the winner can't use it they can pass it on as a thoughtful gift etc (The game will require a DX11 compatible GFX card).

Just completed a challenge on another forum, and searching through for what the latest one is here has made me think they've got quite a good rule:

If you post something other than a challenge, finish your post by repeating the current challenge in bold lettering. Good idea? Or is it already supposed to be like that?

Ah, ok, just checked and so it should be - so having not followed for a while, what's happening?
Title: Re: FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge
Post by: mickvp on 15 February 2014, 09:05:55 pm
Yes, that's the rule here too.

The current challenge :

A pic of your bike next to a cliff or a steep ledge.

That stuff destroys tyres (I speak from experience). When I was still an apprentice I nearly got my hand pulled off one day by a birds nest of the stuff through sheer stupidity...

Anyway, current challenge:

A picture of your fazer besides a large cliff or steep ledge.

It's Sugar Sands, near Longhoughton in Northumberland, Down the lane, open/close the gate, through the farm yard, down the next lane (another gate) and out on to the cliff top (the tarmac is now behind you!). Turn left, avoid the cow shit (and the cows, although they were all lower down today), and there you are.

Right, your bike next to building which is more than 400 years old. As well as the photograph, we need a link to a Web page that a) has a photo identifying the building and b) confirms it age!

Can't get the pictures off the thread for some reason but I remember taking the photo. Doesn't matter anyway, I was nowhere near it, it might as well have been a hand fan.

If the old building stands... this is the closest I could get to Peterborough cathedral. To confirm age... you can Google it.

Well, do both those challenges count? (wind turbine AND 400 year old building).
Might try and do a few this year, but unfortunately, I live in the middle of foccin nowhere so won't be easy!  :'(

I would suggest starting a 2014 thread, otherwise the scores and checking for what has already been used will be a nightmare. Will previously set challenges be acceptable for 2014? If not, who's volunteering to keep a list of what's been done?

Nick if you want to take charge of starting the 2014 thread im good with that dude, thumbs up from me but its up to u guys too


Well, as I've not had much to do with it, I'll wait for others to say what they want first. I'm happy to keep track of scores and what challenges have already been used if you want a break from it Fizzy.

So guys, will old challenges be acceptable in a new year? And do you agree to a new thread for 2014?

What if old challenges can be accepted, but no pics of places that have been used before?
The only reason I'm suggesting this is that if anyone who hasn't had a go before keeps getting told, oh but we've had that, it might put people off trying. And I'm not suggesting that those who have been playing regularly shouldn't at least try to be original.

I don't think it's fair to ban anyone from taking part.
